And what about the moisture flow from the Tropics? It looks like we aren’t quite done. Here is a picture of the Hurricane season to date, compared to 1998. They are remarkably similar.

1998-2010 Hurricane Season

Most forecasters say there is more to come in the next few weeks. For Arizona, there is an increasing chance of rain for the weekend and through next week. It looks like precipitation amounts will be light. There could be some general area coverage, though. Also, expect temperatures to start to decrease over the next few days.

The shark oil barometer has become cloudy as well. It doesn’t seem to predict monsoonal storms, but we are leaving that pattern behind. The rain, if any, we see in the next few days will be less monsoonal in nature.
